Trash

Yes. Frequently we are reminded to spend a part of each day focusing on things we are grateful for. And we are reminded it is not all about big things. Indeed, without judgment, all things big and little carry the same weight.

So how does trash come into our message? Every single piece of trash is the remains of a blessing. Whether it is paper, metal, bottles, clothes, food etc., it is the refuse of something that blessed our life. For example, we have food scraps because we were blessed with food. We have bottles because we were blessed with what was in them. We have scraps of wrapping paper from gifts because we got gifts.

So if we find ourselves struggling remembering our blessings, we need go any further than the trash can.
